Capitals for Laigneville, Saint-Remi The building sequence is based on my on-site analysis of the construction history,  
    	    using the techniques developed on the cathedral of Chartres called toichology, and described in a number of publications.
    	    The analysis of some of the smaller churches are more approximate than I would like, and need further analysis. 
    	    <p>I have used 'phase' rather than 'campaign' to to identify a contiguous zone with similar elements. 
    	    A campaign would be defined by recognisable breaks and construction joints in the fabric: there may be a number of phases within a campaign.
    	    One benefit is that separate programs by subcontractors, such as carvers, may be isolated, which is particularly useful in complex sections, such as portals.
    	    <p>Every phase has been assigned to a decade, so there may be more than one phase in a decade. 
    	    <p>While this is certainly imperfect, it will allow us to explore all the data, including costs, across time.

The building sequence is based on my on-site analysis of the construction history, using the techniques developed on the cathedral of Chartres called toichology, and described in a number of publications. The analysis of some of the smaller churches are more approximate than I would like, and need further analysis.

I have used 'phase' rather than 'campaign' to to identify a contiguous zone with similar elements. A campaign would be defined by recognisable breaks and construction joints in the fabric: there may be a number of phases within a campaign. One benefit is that separate programs by subcontractors, such as carvers, may be isolated, which is particularly useful in complex sections, such as portals.

Every phase has been assigned to a decade, so there may be more than one phase in a decade.

While this is certainly imperfect, it will allow us to explore all the data, including costs, across time. This is an on-going process, so as the data continues to be analyzed, the chronology and costing analysis will be further refined, and the synopsis updated.

Clicking on any of the decade graphics will display all buildings that had work being done during that decade.

Phase 2 - 1080s [1082] - tower


tower.
 
Rationale for dating : from pattern before crusade; the 1080s suits Prancer; and it is a small tower; because inserted animal after Montlevon; Union-J also suggests before the Crusade as in other places, such as Morienval towers; analysis in "The Ark" 4:693.

Phase 4 - 1130s [1135] - crossing


on the southern face of the apse entry pier there is a capital at 45 degrees intended for ribs; in the diagonally opposite external corner there are matching capitals; this and the south wall of the adjacent transept were built into an outcrop of rock that formed the south-west corner of the building that may have been a remnant of the quarry; junctions in the stonework suggests many campaigns.

Phase 5 - 1160s [1167] - east


decision to widen the crossing under the tower to north and south; imposts 3.58 metres from the floor and so lower than entry into apse; capitals profiles show that the vaulted bay under the tower and the two bays of the north chapel were built together; this included tidying up the west wall of the south arm and its vaults with ribs that have a conje seating with rounded transition from spring to rib; at the junction with the nave where the piers for the arcade a\were built with the crossing; above the arches there is no continuity between the crossing piers and the nave walls and on the south the arch is stepped in from its support; this suggests that the projection for the arcade was placed with the crossing pier, but nothing more built at that time, a very common procedure; the same cornice was carried round the north and on west wall of the south but not to the south wall over the outcrop; there are unresolved complexities in this wall.
